This was our fourth home inspection, so we've had various inspectors over the years. John Mauch is…read moredefinitely very thorough with his inspections, just like a home buyer would expect their inspector to be. He reviews all components of the house, not just a visual inspection, like some other lazy inspectors do. He also provides a binder with homeowner resources such as service referrals and basic homeowner tips. While not everything was caught, we did have some drains that didn't work and the water pressure is super high, this was by far the most thorough inspector we have worked with. He also offers a money back guarantee, so if you are not satisfied he will be refund your money!

Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a first class home inspection and highly detailed report.

DO NOT hire this company!…read more We chose Wiemann based on recommendations from our realtor and others who said they were very thorough. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We purchased our home largely because the inspection they performed came back clean. Just DAYS after closing, we started experiencing major foundational issues--with water literally pouring into the basement. We've had four separate basement and foundation experts come out, and every single one said the issues should have been caught during inspection. We now need $30,000 in foundation repairs. On top of that, our AC unit is too close to the gas line, which is not up to state code and also should have been flagged. We've tried reaching out via email, phone, and text--and have received no response to remedy the issues. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. This inspection will cost us tens of thousands of dollars and enormous stress. Avoid Wiemann at all costs.

He gave us a 49 page overview of the prospective house we were purchasing, with tips on what needed to be addressed immediately and what should be looked at over time. During the inspection, he gave me an excellent verbal overview of the house to prepare me for what he would write in the inspection document, which answered a lot of questions I would have had if I had just received the report. Highly recommend this excellent professional who was prompt, thorough, and made us feel confident in understanding the purchase we were making.

Had a new bathroom installed in our basement and the brand new sewer kept backing up. The…read morecontractor said that it couldn't have been from his work and refused to do anything about it. Called Schaal and they came out right away with a camera. Turns out the contractor dropped the flange knockout plug into the sewer line.

Schaal installed a new furnace, AC and water heater in the spring of 2021. We also enrolled in the…read moremaintenance program and still have that. Every year the AC fails to work until someone comes out to look at it. We try to book the free AC service from the maintenance program for late April/early May to have it ready for summer but they constantly call to push those appointments due to "high demand for service calls" and frequently don't get that free visit until we call because the AC is working, usually on the hottest day of the year to that point. This year is no different and we have not had AC since Friday July 17th. Called to set up an appointment and the earliest I was told was available is Monday (July 20) afternoon. I asked about priority scheduling with the maintenance program and they said they would put us on an emergency services waitlist. It is now Sunday afternoon and when I called to check they said nobody will be coming before tomorrow with our scheduled appointment. I cannot believe there are that many other priority customers that with all their technicians they cannot get someone out to my house within 3 days. I can only assume it is because the terms of the program also mean I don't have to pay overtime/weekend rates so they are prioritizing higher revenue customers. If I were a potential customer looking to replace an HVAC system I would not go with Schaal again. If I were a potential customer needing service I would not call Schaal either; look for a better locally owned company (Schall was bought out by private equity a few years ago). I'm giving 2 stars as the installation and service in 2021 and 2022 was as expected but fell off quickly after ownership changed in 2022.

Jodi came out a few days later and measured the flooring. Only took about half an hour and he was very professional and easy to work with and showed me the blueprint/ diagram before he left. Mike got our quote to us quickly and it was broken down pretty well. The negative is when we got our quote. It was double the price of a few other quotes we received. It was very steep for what we were getting. We decided to pass on continuing with ordering because it was double of some other quotes.
